Quotes from the Volunteers
“I started using the Hub for climbing – a way I could keep fit and flexible in my advancing years without the drudge of boring repetitive exercises. But sharing the wall with others, I realised how much more this amazing facility is. It lets people of many ages and abilities challenge themselves, to set goals to improve, to be resolute, to continue through adversity and achieve fulfilment. And not in competition with others, but supported and encouraged by others. It’s a facility I’d like to see expand to be even more inclusive and, thanks to Mark and Bev’s vision, we have firm plans to make that happen. I’m not good at supporting people emotionally and developmentally, but I’m very practical and good with finances. If I can add my bit there, it eases the load a little on Mark and his team of volunteers so that they can go and do the important things that improve people’s lives.”
—Alan Guest, Finance Trustee.
“I volunteer at the Hub because it is a home from home for many people of all ages. I gain from seeing the benefit that it gives to the community, bringing different generations together for a variety of activities.”
“The Hub brought me back into Cleobury, despite never leaving the town. It had become a commuter town for me however, I have now rediscovered friendships and a real community. It is a special place, full of warmth, love, support and hope for all.”
“Volunteering at the Hub is always a high point in my week. I feel happy and at home there as well as useful and love to welcome regulars and newcomers alike. The atmosphere is always warm and uplifting and the future plans feel exciting for our expansion.”
“The Hub is one of my favourite places, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming to everyone. It is great to be a part of this family because that’s what it feels like.”
“I am fortunate to live in CM and through my job at the medical practice to work in the community. I have volunteered at the Hub since it opened. To look back on life here before the Hub is almost to imagine December without Christmas – bleak and lacking.”
Quotes from the Community
“I use the Hub three times a week and it is brilliant. It is amazing for my mental health as it allows me to socialise outside of work”
“I personally suffer from mental health and I rock climb to clear my mind”
“The Cleobury Community Hub has already made a huge contribution to the health and wellbeing of our community”
“I have depression and Chron’s disease. CCH provides me with a much needed caring, non-judgemental, encouraging and restorative space. I’d be lost without it as there is nothing else like it in the area”
“The Hub is providing the fertile soil for lives to thrive, grow and connect with others to build friendships between people struggling with loneliness”
“I work for the local high school and see the work that is done with the young people and the progress they are making. These young people find it a very positive experience and behaviour has improved.”
‘“The Christian ethos… is actually something that makes a real difference to people and encourages both children and adults to return.”
“As a trader on the high street having the Hub brings people to the high street”
“The development plans will bring more people to the Hub and therefore the high street which will benefit the whole town.”
